The band's 50-year career is celebrated in a rich new exhibit, and fans can get in on the action by contributing photos of artifacts and shows.

As the Rolling Stones' ongoing 50 and Counting tour cements their status as the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band, their past will undergo a similar celebration in the first major exhibition of the band's long career.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is unveiling new details about Rolling Stones: 50 Years of Satisfaction, opening on May 24 at the museum in Cleveland.

For the first time, the museum will launch a fan-generated interactive exhibition on May 13 that encourages participants worldwide to share photos of memorabilia, artwork, Stones concerts and more to be used in a multimedia display in the exhibit and online.

Fans may upload original images to Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag #rockhallsatisfaction to contribute. Images will be utilized in the exhibit, online and on the Rock Hall museum's Facebook page until the exhibit closes in March 2014.

Highlights from 50 Years of Satisfaction include:

Mick Jagger's Steel Wheels green leather jacket, circa 1989

Jagger's grammar school class photograph from The Dartfordian

Keith Richards' Rosewood Fender Telecaster

Charlie Watts' mariachi shirt, circa 1975

Ronnie Wood's Zemaitis guitar circa 1978

Brian Jones' custom Vox teardrop guitar

The Rolling Stones' tour production from 1975 to 1981 will be the focus of a companion exhibit at the museum library and archives that will spotlight photographs, stage drawings, fabric samples, lighting cues and set lists. The handwritten notes of Art Collins, the Rolling Stones Records executive on tour with the band from 1977 to 1982, will also be on view. They were used to help decide which performances to use in the concert film Let's Spend the Night Together.

The Stones, inducted into the Rock Hall in 1989, will be the subject of free public programs, interviews, films and lectures during the exhibit's run. For details, visit RockHall.com.
